Call Me Willow
Maia Kamil
You can call me willow
But I won’t weep tonight
You can call me hollow
But I got a place that you can hide
There’s more below this ground than what you see in front of you
What you see is not what you get
There’s more to do than work the earth and wait for things to grow
But sometimes weight is all you know
Stretch your legs and follow
The name they whispered when you were born
Not too fast don’t swallow
The lessons you and I must mourn
There’s more inside this well of yours
So throw a penny in
It’s time that you learn something from yourself
There’s more to be and more to see
But now you’re on the ground
And you can stay as long as you are found
You can call me Willow
But I won’t weep tonight
You can call me Sorrow
But I got a place that you and I can hide
